PRINTING COMPONENTS TO ADHESIVE SUBSTRATE POSTS
A method of printing comprises providing a component source wafer comprising components, a transfer device, and a patterned substrate. The patterned substrate comprises substrate posts that extend from a surface of the patterned substrate. Components are picked up from the component source wafer by adhering the components to the transfer device. One or more of the picked-up components are printed to the patterned substrate by disposing each of the one or more picked-up components onto one of the substrate posts, thereby providing one or more printed components in a printed structure.
Filter-centric III-N films enabling RF filter integration with III-N transistors
Disclosed herein are IC structures, packages, and devices that include III-N transistors integrated on the same substrate or die as resonators of RF filters. An example IC structure includes a support structure (e.g., a substrate), a resonator, provided over a first portion of the support structure, and an III-N transistor, provided over a second portion of the support structure. The IC structure includes a piezoelectric material so that first and second electrodes of the resonator enclose a first portion of the piezoelectric material, while a second portion of the piezoelectric material is enclosed between the channel material of the III-N transistor and the support structure. In this manner, one or more resonators of an RF filter may be monolithically integrated with one or more III-N transistors. Such integration may reduce costs and improve performance by reducing RF losses incurred when power is routed off chip.
